Monero-derived foundation
QWC v2 starts from a modern privacy coin codebase with RingCT-era transaction rules, CLSAG, Bulletproofs+, view tags, and HF17 enabled from genesis.
PUBLIC TESTNET / BETA Qwertycoin v2
Qwertycoin is back.
A privacy-focused, RandomX-powered cryptocurrency with decentralized Proof of Service.
QWC is being revived in 2026 as a new chain on a modern Monero-derived foundation. The history remains visible, but Qwertycoin v2 starts clean.
Technology
Modern privacy infrastructure, rebuilt carefully.
Qwertycoin v2 is not a skin over the old 2018 website. It is a new technical baseline derived from the Monero 0.18.x code family, adapted for QWC parameters and EPoSE v2.
RandomX mining
Proof of work remains the chain security layer. RandomX keeps mining permissionless and CPU-oriented without promising permanent hardware immunity.
Proof of Service
Registered service nodes can prove useful network service through attestations and qualification, then receive deterministic rewards from chain state.
EPoSE v2
Proof of work secures the chain. Proof of Service rewards infrastructure.
No central Sentinel decides rewards. Every validating node can reconstruct the EPoSE state from chain data and reject invalid service rewards.
1
Register
A service node publishes a signed registration, service identity, reward target, endpoint commitment, and admission proof.
2
Attest
Verifier committees check network service and record attestations without turning service nodes into proof-of-stake validators.
3
Reward
Qualified nodes enter deterministic reward rotation. Current beta reward path is 1000 basis points of the tested block reward route.
Service Nodes
Run infrastructure. Prove service. Earn QWC.
A normal node validates, syncs, and relays. A service node adds a registered identity, public service commitment, proof/attestation flow, qualification, and reward eligibility.
| Normal node | Service node |
|---|---|
| Synchronizes the blockchain, validates blocks, relays transactions, and contributes peer capacity. | Does everything a normal node does, plus registers a service identity and participates in the EPoSE service-reward protocol. |
| No reward path beyond mining if the operator also mines blocks. | Can become qualified for deterministic service rewards after registration and attestations. |
| No stake or validator-council role. | Also not a proof-of-stake validator. RandomX miners still produce blocks. |
Mining
RandomX, not CryptoNight.
Old CryptoNight and old mining pool instructions are legacy material. QWC v2 uses RandomX proof of work with a 120 second block target.
Permissionless PoW
Mining is open to anyone who can run compatible RandomX mining software against a QWC v2 node or pool. Active pool documentation will be linked only after it is verified for v2.
No validator council
QWC v2 is not proof of stake. Service nodes receive service rewards only through the EPoSE layer; they do not replace proof-of-work block production.
Wallet
Wallet - In Development
The wallet belongs on the dedicated wallet domain. The main website will never embed seed entry or wallet signing flows.
Web Wallet
A non-custodial browser wallet workbench is being developed at wallet.qwertycoin.org. Use only for testnet and small technical tests until the beta checklist is complete.
Desktop GUI
A modern GUI wallet is planned after the web wallet engine and QWC v2 transaction path are hardened.
CLI Wallet
CLI wallet tooling exists for developers and testnet operators who build QWC v2 from source.
Network
Current QWC v2 observer status.
The website reads public observer endpoints only. It is not a consensus authority.

Roadmap
No date theatre. Just status.
The roadmap replaces the legacy website roadmap and only describes the current QWC v2 path.
Done
Revival foundation
QWC v2 core, modern Monero-derived baseline, RandomX, EPoSE v2 initial implementation, and multi-node beta infrastructure.
In Progress
Testnet hardening
EPoSE qualification, service-node validation, explorer, CI/release hardening, long-running network observation, and security review preparation.
Next
Wallet and ecosystem
Web/PWA wallet, desktop GUI planning, developer APIs, service-node tooling, mining documentation, and operator guides.
Research
Future services
Additional EPoSE services, enhanced sync infrastructure, archival/bootstrap services, and decentralized encrypted object storage research.
History
2018 roots. 2026 restart.
The old ecosystem matters, but it must not be confused with QWC v2. Legacy and migration details will be announced separately.
2018
Qwertycoin launches
QWC began as a CryptoNote-based community privacy coin with early wallet, explorer, community, and infrastructure efforts.
2019-2020+
EPoW and EPoSE experiments
The project explored fair mining, service rewards, wallets, nodes, infrastructure, and voting concepts.
Later
Stagnation and token phase
The legacy chain and ecosystem diverged from what QWC v2 needs today. Exchange, price, and wallet claims from that era are not reused as current facts.
2026
Qwertycoin returns
Qwertycoin v2 starts as a new chain with a new genesis block, RandomX, modern privacy rules, new infrastructure, EPoSE v2, and a new wallet path.
Qwertycoin v2 is a new chain. Old chain data, wallet cache files, peer state, and old release binaries are not compatible with this network.
Developers
Build, verify, contribute.
The active QWC v2 source of truth is the current core repository and its EPoSE documentation.
Build from source
git clone --recursive <current-qwc-v2-core-repository> cd qwertycoin-v2-poc make release
EPoSE registration
qwertycoind --service-node \ --service-node-key /secure/path/service-node.key \ --service-reward-address <QWC address> qwertycoin-wallet-cli refresh register_service_node
Community
Open source, careful by default.
Only active and controlled resources are linked from this relaunch. Legacy docs and old wallet/download/exchange links are excluded until they are updated or clearly archived.
